Femterrupt

1. The ironic act of a woman interrupting a man because she is not listening to, or interested in, what he is saying despite claims of being silenced because of her gender.

2. A tongue-in-cheek word coined to highlight the absurdity of feminist attempts to make the universal act of interrupting a gendered issue (see manterrupting).

Sally: "Don't tell me you're sorry when I have repeatedly spoken to you about this!"
John: "I'm trying to apologize and explain my forgetfulness on this occasion. Please don't femterrupt me."
